From the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature comes this tale of Cinderella. One of the most famous and beloved of all the folk tale classics is adapted here by C. S. Evans in collaboration with Rackham to create one of the most wonderful editions of any fairy tale. Rackham creates a fantasy world of crisp silhouette images to depict step-sisters, footmen, nobles, and other characters from the fable of an orphan girl's transformation into a princess.

Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) was one of the premier illustrators of the twentieth century. Throughout his career, he developed a very individual style that was to influence a whole generation of children and artists. His haunting humour and dream-like romance enhance the enchantment of Cinderella.
